Hylexin

Hylexin, made by Bremenn Research Labs, was created to target dark undereye circles. According to the makers of Hylexin, severe dark circles are caused by the oxidation of hemoglobin in the capillary matrix of the peri-orbital eye area. Basically, the capillaries in the eye area “leak” blood that begins to oxidize which creates the dark bluish-red color associated with severe undereye circles. Hylexin touts the ability to help reduce “hemoglobin degradation byproducts” which in turn reduces the appearance of discoloration. Additionally, Hylexin professes to actually help strengthen the capillary matrix to help stop the “leaking” and protect the eye area from further discoloration.
